For a couple of weeks, Dropbox has had a a red (1) in the menu bar icon and an alert in the dropdown titled "Dropbox for macOS is now ready." Under that it says, "Update Dropbox to use it on the latest version of macOS. Get started." However, the app is updated to the latest version available for download, 162.4.5419 for Apple silicon on macOS 13.0.1. 

 

Am I reading this correctly? Is it telling me there's a new version of Dropbox to download? As that is how I am interpreting it, I've clicked "Get started" and followed the steps, but the message still appeared. Since that didn't change anything, I then uninstalled Dropbox and all settings I could find and reinstalled from a newly downloaded Dropbox installer. That didn't solve it either. Do you have other suggestions? 

 

Thanks for the help.

No matter how many times I try to download the new Mac update, it always pops back up in my notifications. To try to solve it, I've done what seemed to work for another user--gave full access in the Privacy settings for Dropbox, and then restarted. Still having the same issue. I get the notification in the Task Bar to update, I click and it says it will take 55 minutes, it closes Dropbox and asks me to log in and resync, and then the notification in the Task Bar shows up all over again.

 

Anyone know what's going on?

    I am facing this problem since last 2-3 months, and I have raised this issue to dropbox as well.

    On this forum some once from Dropbox will ask you to contact via email, and once you contact them via email, they will reply saying that " back end team is working on it" and they are not sure when they will be able to resolve the issue.

     

    Pathetic service by DROPBOX, and useless developers of DROPBOX do not know how to solve the issue,
